In the given figure,light is incident at an angle $\theta$ with the normal to a plane containing two slits of separation $d$. Select the expression that correctly describes the positions of the interference maxima in terms of the incoming angle $\theta$ and outgoing angle $\phi$.

  • A
    $\sin \phi + \sin \theta = \left( m + \frac{1}{2} \right) \frac{\lambda}{d}$
  • B
    $\sin \theta = m\lambda$
  • C
    $\sin \phi - \sin \theta = (m + 1) \frac{\lambda}{d}$
  • D
    $\sin \phi + \sin \theta = m \frac{\lambda}{d}$

The central fringe of an interference pattern produced by light of wavelength $6000 \, \mathring{A}$ is found to shift to the position of the fourth bright fringe after a glass plate of refractive index $1.5$ is introduced in front of one slit. The thickness of the glass plate would be ...... $\mu m$.

$6300 \mathring A$ wavelength light shines on two narrow slits separated by a distance of $1.0 \ mm$ and illuminates a screen at a distance of $1.5 \ m$ away. When one slit is covered by a thin glass plate of refractive index $1.8$ and the other slit by a thin glass plate of refractive index $\mu$,the central maxima shifts by $6^o$. Both plates have the same thickness of $0.5 \ mm$. The value of the refractive index $\mu$ of the plate is:

In a Young's double-slit experiment,light of wavelength $4800 \, \mathring{A}$ is used. One slit is covered by a thin transparent plate of refractive index $1.4$ and the other slit is covered by another thin transparent plate of refractive index $1.7$. As a result,the central bright fringe shifts to the position where the fifth bright fringe was previously formed. If the thickness of both plates is the same,find the thickness in $\mu m$.

$A$ transparent medium of refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ and thickness $t = 2.5 \times 10^{-5} \, m$ is placed in front of one of the slits in a Young's double-slit experiment. By what distance (in $cm$) will the interference pattern shift? The distance between the two slits is $d = 0.5 \, mm$ and the distance between the screen and the slits is $D = 100 \, cm$.

Young's double slit experiment is conducted in a liquid of refractive index $\mu_1$ as shown in the figure. $A$ thin transparent slab of refractive index $\mu_2$ and thickness $t$ is placed in front of the slit $S_2$. The magnitude of the optical path difference at point $O$ is
